Chapter 207 Too Young and Too Old
After the change of the league rules in later generations, later generations called this defensive rule called body hair defense. The general idea is that the defensive side will be tried to make a foul if it touches the opponent. Yes, this is not snooker.

But under the league's utterly shameless whistleblowing, James experienced what is called a real body hair defense. He single-handedly beat Mr. Yi Yi and Warcraft, and at the same time indirectly killed their coach. Van Gundy, who can beat such an astonishing record?After Barkley got the news after the game, he was about to kneel down to the gorilla.

In the second game, the Lakers also defended their home court advantage and eliminated the visiting Hornets cleanly. They did not rely on the help of the referee, but relied on their own hard power to defeat them in a fair and honest manner. .

In this game, Phil Jackson made a big change before the game, replacing Odom from the sixth man to the starting position, and at the same time relegated Ariza to the back position of the bench. Today, Tiza and Kobe's playing time is Staggered, they have only one task on the court, and that is to accompany Chris Paul throughout the game.

How important the Queen Bee is to the Hornets may not be known to fans who don't pay much attention to the Hornets, but it can be seen from Paul's possession rate of more than 45% of the entire team in a game that he is the Hornets life gate.

With Paul's go-between, Toja and James Posey's fixed-point turrets can play a role, David West's mid-range can play a role, and Chandler can work in the air in the opponent's interior, but these are all dependent on the queen bee's pass Only the ball will do.

This is like the Lakers a few years ago. At that time, the team relied only on Kobe, and the boss also had a lot of possessions at that time. However, unlike Paul, the volute turned his possession rate into Score and hit the opponent in the most direct way, while Paul turns these possessions into assists and helps the team from the side.

But the same thing is that they are a crucial point of the team, the soul of the team or the leader of the team is the engine of the team. They are players with a higher level than the cornerstone of the team. For the Hornets For the Lakers, Paul and Kobe are the fathers of the two teams. If one day their fathers can't get up, they will have to rest.

The coach of the Hornets also saw this problem, but he didn't know if it was because he had won a victory and was so lax. In this game, Koster did not decisively target the black Mamba. The result was that Kobe defended Paul with only On 15 of 4 shots, he only scored 13 points, 7 assists and 4 turnovers. Kobe relied on his height and weight advantages to frequently put the name of the backward jumper on James Posey's head. He scored a total of 31 points and 6 Rebounds and 4 assists, the data gap between the two cores in this game is clear at a glance. Kobe has 18 points more than Paul, and in the final point difference, the Lakers also just won the Hornets by 18 points.

Paul counts himself as a playoff recruit this year.Counting this year, he only had one round of playoffs last year. In the first round of the playoffs against the Suns, it is not that he has not been targeted by the Suns. But it didn't cause much trouble for the queen bee, and he didn't realize what the real playoff intensity looked like until they met the Lakers, an aristocratic team that can attack and defend well and get serious.

He has become the league's No. [-] point guard this year. He won the match against Deron Williams. He was successfully promoted to the altar by fans and the media. Find a way to deal with it in the subsequent series with the Lakers, otherwise his superstar name will be questioned, and he may be kicked off again before his butt is hot on the throne.

Turn your attention to Boston's North Shore Garden Arena. Today, the Celtics continue to sit at home in the game.Celtics suffered another defeat.

Pierce felt out of alignment without warning, and Ray Allen's state seemed to be extremely poor since the first round of the series against the Nets. Today, the combined data of the two giants of the Big Three is only 23 points, 10 rebounds, and 13 points. The bleak data of assists per game is not as high as Garnett, who has 24 points and 13 rebounds in points and rebounds. Only one player is left to play after the Big Three exist in name only. The Celtics' overturn is also reasonable.

As soon as the first quarter came up, Ray Allen followed Garnett's screen and made a three-pointer, and Pierce then hit two mid-range shots. The Celtics led the Hawks with a big score of 9:0 at the beginning. I thought the game was stable for the Celtics, but who knew, just after the highlight performance in the opening 3 minutes, Junzijian and Truth immediately fell into the curse of missing a hundred shots.

Garnett alone is struggling to support the team's progress, but the problem is that Ray Allen and Pierce can't attack and attack. The new Eagle King, this TM Celtics collapsed. The Green Wolf King suddenly remembered the feeling that he was full of strength but very tired when he was in the Timberwolves. He didn't do this when he was the boss of the Timberwolves.

What's more, Garnett doesn't have the same fighting spirit as when he was in the Timberwolves. This year, he is also around 32 years old. The life span of inside players is shorter than that of outside players. There are five people in the team.

For the Eagles, Joe Johnson scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists. Josh Smith also scored 16 points and 13 rebounds. The most eye-catching rookie Horford faced the Celtics' two big stars. , or in other words, Glenn Davis and Perkins, the two big balls, used their excellent footwork and long arms to score a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds. double.

In the blink of an eye, all the eight teams that advanced to the second round have all finished their second round matches. The Rockets and Celtics have been pushed to the edge of a cliff by their respective opponents, and one foot has already been stepped on the ground Next, the two home court advantages are all lost. What does the home court advantage represent?Not only have the strong support of the fans but also the help of the referee, it can be said that the right time, place and people are all in place. In this case, they all lose. Do you still want to expect them to have the right time and place and they are all on the opponent’s side? Two more wins?
The only difference is that the Rockets were criticized for being too young, while the Celtics were criticized for being too old. Apart from the Big Three and their own Rondo and Thornton, the Celtics had no The salary space of the Big Three is too high for any players who can afford it. Although they made sacrifices when they roared to Boston, it is still too much of a burden to have three at once, just like the Big Three of the Heat in the later period Likewise, they simply don't have the money to sign anyone other than James Wade Bosh.

This kind of development is very deformed. The main force of the team is gathered but not necessarily strong, because there is only one basketball, and the three of them can only score one goal in a round, and they have to waste a long time because of the problem of ball possession. time.

But the substitutes are absolutely weak, and they go up to give others a head. They dare to lose as many points as the main players can. Most games will be cold.

The Big Three behind the Heat are not bad, because the three of them are still very young. In the playoffs, the head coach can reasonably arrange the playing time of the three to ensure that at least two of the Big Three are on the court at every moment in a game. The old Celtics, who are 100 years old together, can't play like this.

If the old Big Three played more than 25 minutes, their efficiency would drop. If they played more than 30 minutes, they would sleepwalk on the court. If they played more than 35 minutes, they would be a burden.

This is impossible, not to say that Garnett Pierce and Ray Allen are not as great as James Wade and Bosh, but in front of the biggest enemy of age, even if you are as strong as the god of basketball, you have to bow to time. It's the same for every player, a hairless Phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, just like the 50-year-old James can't beat the 20-year-old Sun Dasheng.

In the third game, the Rockets' life-and-death battle will start in San Antonio. Totoro will come back from the playoffs for the first time. Everyone wants to see how he will perform in the first game.

Maybe because he knew that this game was more important, today Totoro’s harem all came to the scene to support. Originally, Totoro’s harem didn’t pay much attention to his game, because their girls are usually very busy, but today they are on the road. Fa is willing not to update the novel, Taylor Swift is willing to postpone her new song release, Little Lolita is willing to take her laptop on the plane to handle business, Ivan is willing to give up the banquet, and several girls are willing to make room for Totoro. It took a long time to fly to the holy city, which shows that chinchillas still hold a very important position in their hearts.

Totoro didn't know about the arrival of several girls before the game. He saw his girlfriends in the audience when he was warming up before the game. He immediately missed his warm-up shots. Delman broke out in a cold sweat.

Generally, the girlfriends of NBA stars will come to the scene to support their boyfriend's games, but Totoro is an anomaly. Firstly, Totoro doesn't care about whether they come to watch him play. He doesn't have obsessive-compulsive disorder To ask them to cheer, secondly, her harem girls are not very interested in basketball, and they are usually busy, so they didn't come to the scene to watch Totoro's performance a few times.

But now it's a good thing, either none of them will come, or they will be all at once. Totoro feels that the expenditure has been stretched from negative to over the top, and his little heart can't accept such a big change.

"Hey, boy, as I said, this is not your time. You have no chance in this series. Your performance is really bad. If I were you, you would not think about the game now, but go to play well." Think about how you face those reporters and fans in the post-match press conference after losing the game."

Ginobili stepped forward and challenged Totoro, the opponent had been exposing his bald scars throughout the first game, how could he just let the opponent go so easily now?
Leading by a big score of 2:0, I still hold two home court advantages, the Spurs have already been on the wind and can't go any further, it's like lol beat the opponent 10:15 in the first 0 minutes of a game, eat chicken and own a third-level head The third-level clothing has 8 times the noise reduction 98k plus auspicious clothing, as long as it is an ordinary person, basically it will not be inflated.

"Baldy, have you forgotten the lesson you learned when you played against me? You played against me for less than 10 minutes, and you were replaced by Popovich unbearably. In fact, if I were you I will try to avoid playing against me, otherwise you should now think about how it would feel if you were heckled by the media after the game and you were beaten up by a first-year student."

Chinchilla glanced at Ginobili coldly. Because of his height, Totoro not only looked contemptuously, but also condescendingly, a bit domineering. Argentine Demon Sword suddenly felt that he was at a disadvantage in the confrontation of momentum. The child became upset.

"Boy, has no one taught you manners since you were a child? If you want to gain a foothold in the league, you must learn how to respect your seniors, especially seniors with higher honors than you."

Ginobili said angrily, but Totoro ignored him at all. After finishing speaking, he went to the position of the jump ball. Today he will replace Yao Ming and Duncan for the ball.

The Argentine Demon Sword wants to vomit blood instantly, he has a feeling of punching the cotton, the most angry person is not when he is spraying with others, but when he is spraying someone, the other party suddenly blocks him after scolding him, This is the most frustrating.

Duncan also frowned slightly. The referee blew the whistle and threw the ball into the air. Shi Fu didn't even have the intention of bumping his feet, and ran to his backcourt without looking back. It may compete with the legendary 4-meter-tall Totoro.

But maybe because this is the home court of the Spurs, the referee deliberately threw the ball a lot lower, and it was a bit biased towards Duncan. Throwing it lower is equivalent to reducing the advantage of Chinchilla’s bounce and increasing Shifo’s height. If Duncan hadn't given up in this scrimmage, maybe Totoro would have experienced the first jump ball failure, but in fact this situation did not happen. This small detail tells us that as long as there is still a little chance, people You shouldn't give up your efforts, what if one day the goddess of luck makes a little joke on yourself?
Totoro got a good start for the Rockets. The Spurs were ready to fight because of Duncan’s early return to defense. Totoro did not mess around. After handing the ball to Calderon, he started running honestly. Finally, the basketball flew into Yao Ming’s hands. , the little giant turned around and ignored Oberto's defensive hook and scored.
